Prime Minister Narendra Modi responds to Trump's appreciation :

Hours after
US President Donald Trump thanked PM Modi for sending hydroxychloroquine to the
US in times of need, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said times like
these bring friends closer.

In a tweet
in response to Trump's note of thanks, PM Modi said, Fully agree with you
President @realDonaldTrump Times like these bring friends closer. The India-US
partnership is stronger than ever. India shall do everything possible to help
humanity's fight against COVID-19. We shall win this together.

Fully agree with you President @realDonaldTrump. Times like these bring friends closer. The India-US partnership is stronger than ever.

India shall do everything possible to help humanity's fight against COVID-19.

Earlier,
Donald Trump said, Extraordinary times require even closer cooperation between
friends. Thank you India and the Indian people for the decision on HCQ. Will
not be forgotten! Thank you Prime Minister @NarendraModi for your strong
leadership in helping not just India, but humanity, in this fight!

On
Wednesday, Trump had threatened India with retaliation and said if India
doesn't release the anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine for United States, we
will have to face retaliation.

Soon after,
India said the government will be supplying the essential medicine to all
countries that are affected by the deadly coronavirus. However, India also
clarified that like all other responsible nations the government had to make
sure that it had enough stocks for domestic consumption, which led to the
temporary ban on exports.

As India put
a temporary ban on exports of hydroxychloroquine, Donald Trump dialled up PM
Modi to request India for the drug that US had ordered. Trump has been pushing
hydroxychloroquine as a possible cure for coronavirus although it is yet to be
proved.

India agreed
to lift the ban and said that the medicine will be supplied to not only the US
but also other nations and its neighbours.

On Wednesday
while talking to reporters, Trump said, "I want to thank Prime Minister
Modi of India for allowing us to have what we requested for the problem that
arose and he was terrific. We will remember it."

Three
Gujarat-based companies would export these tablets to the US, Gujarat Chief
Minister Vijay Rupani said on Tuesday. India is the leading producer of the
anti-malaria drug in the world.
